By Walt Walton
I’m from the ghetto
Where the devil plays Geppetto, where they take silver spoons
And start heating up the metal. Let me set scene
Obscene, “Enough said.” Two options, jail time or end up dead
Murders, Thieves, and Fiends, Jealously, Envy, and Greed, Pills, Liquor, & Weed
How did I succeed? Well plenty of people had planted a seed, and watered it
Train up a child in the way he should go and when he gets old he won’t depart from it
I’ve been in the trap, I didn’t get trapped in
I was lost in the world, like way back when
Tempted, Lured, Enticed, I can’t believe I gave birth to all that sin
Misconception, thought I was having a blast, had to slow down I was moving too fast
Enjoying the pleasures of a sinful season, but somehow I knew that it wouldn’t last
Had to Evaluate then Elaborate, and Orchestrate, How to change and have a proper demeanor
Because on Judgment Day, I’d rather hear well done, then depart from me, when I receive a subpoena
Stand firm give the demons and devil a stiff arm
When you start off your day, be sure not to be unarmed
First, fasten up the Belt of Truth, you know Psalms 1 “I am Grout”
When it comes to Gods Word be in high pursuit
Also place on The Breastplate of Righteousness, you have to protect your heart
Shine your light regardless of your circumstances and enlighten those who are living in the dark
Have the Readiness of feet to go and share The Gospel of Peace, God’s Grace is sufficient when were weak
If you’re a child of God be obedient and play your part
Keep your Shield of Faith to protect you, from all the flaming darts
Always wear the Helmet of Salvation, when one sinner repents in heaven it’s a celebration
Use The Sword of the Spirit for your defense, by the power of prayer & supplication
Don’t be anxious about anything and show no signs of indignation
Keep The Whole Armor of God on, at all times
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind
Chorus- Praise God at the beginning and end of the day
I was lost and he helped me find my way
Living in the world I was led astray
Was blind now I see Amazing Grace
Stay looking to Jesus the Founder and Perfecter of our Faith
